Now, that we have funnel shift intrinsics, it should be safe to convert this form of rotate to it. In the worst case (a target that doesn't have rotate instructions), we will expand this into a branch-less sequence of ALU ops (neg/and/and/lshr/shl/or) in the backend, so it's still very likely to be a perf improvement over the original code. The motivating source code pattern for this is shown in: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34924 Background: I looked at several different options before deciding where to try this - instcombine, simplifycfg, CGP - because it doesn't fit cleanly anywhere AFAIK. The backend (CGP, SDAG, GlobalIsel?) is too late for what we're trying to accomplish. We want to have the IR converted before we reach things like vectorization because the reduced code can make a loop much simpler to transform. Technically, this could be included in instcombine, but it's a large pattern match that includes control-flow, so it just felt wrong to stuff into there (although I have a draft of that patch). Similarly, this could be part of simplifycfg, but all of this pattern matching is a stretch. So we're left with our relatively new dumping ground for homeless transforms: aggressive-instcombine. This only runs at -O3, but that seems like a reasonable limitation given that source code has many options to avoid this pattern (including the recently added clang intrinsics for rotates). I'm including a PhaseOrdering test because we require the teamwork of 3 passes (aggressive-instcombine, instcombine, simplifycfg) to get this into the minimal IR form that we want. That test shows a bug with the new pass manager that's independent of this change (but it will be masked if we canonicalize harder to funnel shift intrinsics in instcombine).
